Beans-n-Dawgs

Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments below! Today it's a simple lunch, but one of Little shmoo's favorites: vegetarian baked beans and veggie dog slices in a warm thermos. Square baked pita chips are in the lunch box with an organic orange, cucumber and edamame, and an apple-raspberry "Just Fruit" bar.Verdict: Hearty and filling on a rainy, grey day. He ate everything but a bit of the cucumber. 4 stars.

I love the lunch. I just did a dinner for a group of friends. That had some of the same elements. Chicken fried Tofu, Mashed Potatoes and Parsnips, Soymilk gravy and Mushroom gravy, Roasted Butternut squash, Sweet Potato Pone, Veggie Franks and Beans, Vegan Twinkies, Jam Cakes. It is the time of year for comfort foods.
